Exploring Sicily

Sicily is Italy’s largest island. It’s rugged, mountainous and covered in beautiful, sweet-smelling flora. It’s where Mount Etna is located and is surrounded by the warm waters of the Southern Mediterranean Sea. Sicily is famous for inventing the sonnet, housing the largest Italian opera house and delicious arancini, which is a dish consisting of rice balls and meat.

While you’ve got the opportunity to explore the beautiful Italian island of Sicily, you’ll no doubt want to make the most of the nearby sights, landmarks and attractions. The spectacular Norman-style Cefalu Cathedral is a great place to start. It has incredible domes and spires and is located in a picturesque square lined with street cafes. Art lovers will want to check out the Museo Mandralisca, which not only houses some important works of art, but also has a great view of the bay.

If you’re keen on walking, or you’re taking part in activities at Club Med Cefalu’s hiking school, you’ll no doubt seize the opportunity to walk around , or simply drive through, Madonie Park, a beautiful Palermo park with winding mountain passes, plenty of birds to spot and impressive views. Mt San Salvatore is a popular peak to tackle for seasoned hikers.

For an exhilarating day spent seeking thrills, you might prefer to visit the Green Water aqua park. Make the most of the slides, pools and spas here, but be aware that it gets very busy in peak season.
